Customs police officers address the President of the Republic The customs Prosecutor General Gëzim Balla, The Prosecutor General of the Republic Aranit A. Arapi Between the General Prosecutor’s Office and the General Directorate of Customs there is a public debate, centered on official premises. A group of customs police officers, through a petition sent to the President of the Republic, Nuredin [?] Dio-datari, are asking for a solution to this situation. They are outraged by the delay in their complaint against Italian citizens over an incident recorded, according to the customs police, on 23. 06. 1998 in the premises of the police at the border checkpoint 'MKD', notified with two customs police vehicles. For the customs authorities, this is the latest case in a prolonged process of conflict. They accuse the head of traffic police at the General Directorate of Customs, Edmond Zyberi, of having dismissed the customs police investigation, replacing it with another version of the event. Yesterday the general police and the customs police published two different statements on the same issue, further intensifying the institutional conflict. page 5 The customs Prosecutor General Gëzim Balla.
